A U.S. airport has suggested updating its dress code to discourage wearing pajamas during travel. This follows the airport’s social media campaign that humorously criticized Crocs, slip-on footwear. Although travelers were advised against wearing Crocs, the airport also encouraged passengers to reconsider wearing pajamas. According to a post on the airport’s social media, it’s time to have a ‘difficult conversation’ about airport attire.
Public reactions varied, with one Facebook user stating that pajamas should only be worn to the mailbox. Another agreed that exceptions could be made for children under five and for matching Christmas pajamas. Conversely, some defended wearing comfortable clothing to navigate the airport efficiently.
This discussion emerges as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy launched the ‘Golden Age of Travel Starts with You’ campaign, designed to promote courtesy and class in air travel. Duffy noted a 400% increase in disruptive incidents on planes since 2019 and urged travelers to dress with respect to improve the travel experience for passengers and crew alike.
